Surf Fishing Vehicle Permits

Surf fishing vehicle permits are issued for the calendar year. These permits allow four-wheeled vehicle access to designated areas for the purpose of surf fishing.

Permits are available online or at the park office.

Who qualifies for a permit?

Any four-wheeled vehicle which has been licensed and registered to operate on public highways with a minimum clearance of not less than 7 inches between the lowest point of the vehicle and the ground.

Can I transfer my permit to another vehicle?

The permit is only valid for the vehicle to which it has been issued. For an additional fee, a permit may be transferred to another vehicle.
